I wanted to intervene at that point with a witty personal remark on evolution, but I didn't. I just sat there and chose to simply enjoy the view and his presence so close to me. A moment of hesitation, than I turned my head to see his face. I hoped he'd do the same, see the look on my face and guess what I was thinking. But he didn't. He kept gazing at this invisible point on the horizon while his thoughts were probably way past me by now.
"So, why don't we just stop?" I asked trying to find the invisible point on the horizon.
"Stop?" he asked with a smile and finally turned his head to me.
"We can't turn back now" I said "we've come too far. I guess in the end, we got what we deserved, both bad and good. So, we might as well enjoy it."
"What is there to enjoy?" he asked.
I supposed he waiting for an answer that would make this conversation turn a little lighter. But I was in no mood for absurd and comic comments on existential symbolism.
"There's so much to enjoy..." I replied. "Don't forget, we get to pick the moment we want to stop in."
"And hopefully, get lost in."
And right there, on the roof top, the smile that came with that last sentence made me realize i had nothing to be afraid of. There really was no turning back. Only an endless series of moments, each of them unique in their perfection.
